Burgers, Orbs, Gardens, Trains

In May of 2013 we were returning from the Limberlost-you can read about that in my prior Ramblings- and we made many stops along the way.  One stop was to eat at a Frisch’s Big Boy in Dayton, Ohio, of course Steve and I are going to eat at any restaurant that has some kind of giant or quirky thing in front of it-especially if it is holding food!   Prior to this was a little detour to the Wegerzyn Gardens which are part of the Dayton metro park system.  It was a great place to stretch our legs and of course for me to snap some images.  The park had this web of vines that reminded me of an enormous beehive hairdo that you could walk through.  I loved it, made me feel like a kid again, I only wish I could grow something that cool in my backyard, but alas no green thumb here.  I would highly recommend stopping at these gardens they were quirky and also had a children’s garden –an interactive garden for the whole family.

Moving on down the road we headed into Marion, Ohio and what did we find?  A giant steam shovel, should we stop?  Why of course we should.  We parked the old motorhome and hopped on out and into the shovel.  The funny thing about this stop was the odd circle that only showed up in the forward images of the shovel and in no other images on this trip.  Both before and after cleaning the lens-weird?  Also no flash, and only in the shovel in front of Steve and behind me-  Dare I say orb.  Who knows?  That is the mystery of the shovel.  So after a few minutes of climbing in, out and on top of the shovel, we discovered another treat-trains!

Bonus for this stop it was the Marion Union Station, it was not open at the time but it is a great place to spot trains.  I did get some train images and talked together about how excited our Grandson would be to see the trains and the giant shovel!  He gets excited as us about the kind of things we visit, his attention span is just a bit shorter than ours. 

As we continued on through Marion we came upon the Warren G. Harding Memorial.  This is a very impressive structure, and of course another place to stretch our legs.  We did not tour the home on this trip, but really enjoyed the Tomb, I know how often do you say “Wow really enjoyed that tomb” but this stop was one of those.  As impressive as Warren G. Harding’s tomb is-if you are a tomb lover and find yourself in Canton, Ohio check out the McKinley Monument, also very impressive.

    I could say photographer, but I am a collector of minutes in time, visual memories.
